TO  THE 

HON.  BENJAMIN  SEAVER, 

Mayor  of  the  City  of  Boston.     To  the  first  man  in  the 

Metropolis  of  J^Tew  England,  I  have  much  pleasure 

in  dedicating  the  following  Poem. 

"  Intaminatis  fulget  honoribus."— Hob. 
"Sterling  worth  and  virtue  in  persona  of  eminent  place  and  dignity 
are  seated  to  great  advantage,  so  as  to  cast  a  lustre  upen  their  very 
place,  and  by  a  strong  reflexion,  double  the  beams  of  majesty."— 
Arobbisbop  Tillitsom. 

Sermon^  Folio  Edition^  London^  1695,  p.  45. 

May  every  hope  by  you  be  won— by  men  and  angels  blest, 
Be  many  years  the  favored  son  of  the  Athens  of  the, West, 
The  well  beloved,  for  every  voice  its  willing  anthems  raise. 
And  every  listner  will  rejoice  to  hear  their  Chieftain's 
praise. 

Let  Boston  flourish  free  and  fair— and  in  the  day  I  leave 
her, 

I'll  pour  on  high  my  warmest  prayer,  for  her  and  thee. 
Mayor  Seaver. 
♦***♦» 
So  now  arrayed  in  regal  power. 
May  blessings  in  ethereal  shower 
Deluge  your  soul,  for  truth  renowned. 
And  scatter  mercies  all  around. 
And  late,  full  late,  may  you  arise, 
And  bloom  afresh  in  Paradise; 
While  your  good  name,  from  age  to  age. 
Shall  decorate  our  history's  page, 
And  adding  splendors  to  my  song. 
The  poet's  fame  itself  Drolone,

BOSTON: 

•    *        Written  for  Governor  Everett, 

"  She  Bits  like  an  Ocean  Queen, 

■~~~~~~~ With  a  lira  of  proud  toTrer»," 

By  the  Atlantio  Borders  Boston  stands^ 

The  beacon  light  of  far  surrounding  lands, 

A  mirror,  where  all  ages  do  reflect. 

At  one  broad  glance,  triumphant  intellect, 

Mark  her  upon  thy  ever  rolling  page, 

Great  Ocean!  Fairer  Athens!  of  a  later  age— 

Here  let  her  stand  a  monument  of  arts  and  peace, 

And  revel  in  the  Ughts  of  Rome  and  Greece. 

(  The  seat  of  Learning  and  the  throne  of  Arts, 

The  abode  of  beauty  and  of  manly  hearts.) 

Yes  !  Athens  of  the  West!  thy  Towers  arise, 

Like  nbrthern  lights  to  my  enraptured  eyes, 

Thy  monuments  and  palaces  afar. 

Seem  fkiry  world  or  new  discovered  Star, 

Thy  bowers  and  Avenues,  where  learning  strays. 

Bear  back  my  soul  to  Academias'  days, 

Thy  Colleges,  wher<e  worth  has  found  a  home, 

Reflect  the  li^ts  of  early  Greece  and  Rome, 

Thy  thronged  Streets  and  most  resplendant  Stores, 

Can  back  to  memory  Tyre  and  Zidon  ancient  shores, 

Crown'd  with  eternal  light,  forever  blest, 

Forever  bear  the  palm  Athens  of  th'  West! 

Commerce  for  you  shall  spread  its  snowy  sails, 

On  every  sea  and  woo  their  various  gales, 

Science  shall  flourish  and  the  Arts  revive. 

Genius  shall  bask  in  sunbeams  which  shall  give 

Its  light  to  distant  centuries— and  while 

You  o'er  the  night  of  other  nations  smile. 

Your  country's  flag,  embleming  out  the  sky^ 

Shall  o'er  many  races,  dimes  and  ages  fly.

A   NEW   POEM; 

fVrittcn  for  President  Gardner,  of  the  City  Council, 
and  dedicated  to  Abbot  Lawrence. 

"  Above  the  rest  proudly  emioent, 
Stood  like  a  Tower." 

Ckcropia  was  in  ages  gone. 
The  pride  of  early  Greece, 
(  So  Boston  is  the  modern  throne 
Of  all  the  Arts  and  Peace,) 

Her  Towers,  where  reared  on  summits  high, 

To  clear  the  swelling  sea, 

So  factions  flood,  njays't  thou  defy, 

And  be  forever  free. 

Nine  Archoxs  held  a  glorious  sway. 

In  Majestracy  rare. 

So  Boston  has  in  later  day- 
Eight  Aldermen — and  Mayor. 

Athenians  oft  did  signalize 

Themselves  with  valour  true. 

And  bid  each  Art  and  Science  rise. 

Up  to  their  Nation's  view — 

Lo!  Marathon  and  Salamis, 

Lo!  Plateea  and  Mycale — 

Did  Boston  ever  rival  this, 

Von  Column  tells  the  tale,* 
The  dazzling  splendour  of  those  souls 
That  glorified  her  race, 
Long  as  the  Sun  or  Ocean  rolls. 
Immortal  annals  grace. 
Surrounding  nations  gazed  at  times. 
On  monument  and  dome, 
And  genius,  rare  from  many  climes. 
Made  Athens  still  its  home; 
On  Athens,  too,  auspicious  fates 
Oft  smiled  with  fond  delight. 
And  all  around  the  neigboring  States 
Borrowed  from  her  their  light, 
*BunkerniU,  B3

THE   B08T0NIAD. 


So  the  Bard,  to  win  a  laurel  crown, 
(  By  Corporations  sent,) 
Choose  Boston  for  its  high  renown, 
From  all  the  continent — 
Should  accident  by  flood  or  fire. 
Level  your  towers  amain — 
Some  TiiEMisTOCLES — God  inspire 
To  rear  them  up  again. 
Should  luxury  and  intemperance, 
Through  all  your  halls  extend, 
Some  Draco's  spirit  drive  it  hence, 
Some  Solon  prove  your  Ariend. 
Should  the  time  come— Heaven  forbid 
When  tyranny  shall  rage, 
May  Boston  do  as  Athens  did — 
Back  far  in  Phillip's  age. 
Athens!  renowned  for  giving  birth 
To  minds  that  worlds  adorn, 
So  men,  the  glory  of  the  earth. 
Have  been  in  Boston  born.

THE  BOSTONrAD. 


And  I  transcend  the  mightiest  bards  of  olcT. 
Wet  with  Niagara's  spray  I  plume  my  wing. 
And  towards  thy  SUN  celestial  science  spring. 
,       The  dew  from  pinions  shook  so  near  thy  blaze. 
Forms  the  bright  rainbow  of  my  hero's  praise- 
Hark  !  hallelujahs  of  a  mighty  race— 
The  jubilee  of  nations  !  how  they  grace 
With  song  and  triumph— see  the  stamp  of  fate. 
Second  creator  of  Mankind's  estate. 
Mountains  fell  tributary,  oceans  ran 
Before  the  genius  of  our  mighty  man  ; 
Through  clouds  and  tempests  oft  encompassed  wide. 
His  eagle  mind  with  energy  supplied 
The  springs  of  power  that  shook  and  rent 
Nature's  dominion  on  this  Continent ; 
'•  But  envy  still  a  foe  to  worth  will  prove, 
To  worth  though  guarded  by  the  arm  of  Jove  '^ 
Sometimes  like  Abdiel  he  stood  alone. 
But  still  in  his  original  brightness  shone. 
A  mariner  on  life's  dark  sea  afar. 
With  eyp9  still  fixed  upon  the  Polar  Star,. 
That  was  to  guide  him  to  the  headland,  where 
Flantmg  his  standard  in  the  purer  air. 
It  might  o'er  new  established  emphes  fly. 
Picturing  the  splendors  of  his  native  sky! 

***** 
(Heraldic  be<trings  would  his  glories  mar. 
He  was  himself  the  Order  and  the  Star  > 
Long  may  the  wonder  of  the  world  be  heard 
And  seen-ILLUSTRIOUS  ONE-where  you  appeared 
Like  Uriel,  oft  amidst  a  recreant  band  ;  ^^ 

Heaven's  standard  bearer  to  your  native  land. 
Like  Ocean's  realm  which  nature's  law  surrounds. 
You  kept  the  mountain  tide  within  its  bounds. 
When  politics  the  fiercest  souls  engao-ed 
And  the  red  tempests,  armed  with  fury!  raeed 
Jour  mighty  mind  did  eloquence  unfold      '    '• 
Second  to  thunders  that  round  Sinai  roii'd. 
Startling  all  Israel  in  the  days  of  old

Intellect — the  Archangels  diadem — 

Decks  his  brow— first  of  terrestial  birth  ; 

He  is  a  walking  God  upon  the  earth, 

Messiah  of  lus  clime,  and  Saviour  of  this  age» 

Daylight  of  Poet's  song  and  History's  pa<^e. 

Harmonious  spirit,  tuned  to  virtues  high, 

Sole  representative  of  Deity. 

His  thoughts  are  deep  as  that  abyss  profound 

That  heard  the  Almighty  maker's  voice  resound^ 

Ere  all  the  world's  existing  at  his  word 

Sprung  radiant  to  the  presence  of  the  Lord  ; 

And  mind  exalted  a^  Heaven's  towers  divine. 

That  to  the  resplendence  of  Jehovali  shine.. 

Expansive  as  the  rolling  universe^ 

That  with  harmonious  beams  God's  praise  rehearse. 

His  thoughts  are  stars — and  stars  appeal-  to  me 

Like  golden  sands  stranding  the  ocean  of  eternity. 

Guardian  of  all  the  rights  of  these  far  climes  ^ 

To  thee  they  turn  their  eyes  in  stormy  times  ; 

For,  God-like  Daniel  Webster,  without  thee 

The  Constitution's  Ark  would  sometimes  be*, 

A  phantom  ship  upon  a  vapory  sea. 

****** 

Aye  !  like  that  firy  column  that  in  Desarts  shone. 

Lighting  the  pilgrim  tribes  in  ages  gone. 

Tour  soul  resplendant  clears  away  the  night. 

And  lighting  the  march  to  Empire,  takes  its  flight. 

Who  would  attempt  with  slander  to  disgrace 

Thee!  prim  est  ornament  of  human  race  ? 

They  should  have  been  in  other  planets  born. 

Worn  horrid  shapes  in  dismal  climes  forlorn. 

Gave  reptiles  birth,  lived  through  a  dreary  dream. 

No  God  to  guard  them,  no  Messiah  to  redeem. 

What  deathless  lays — what  fadeless  laurels  crown 

THEE,  the  dear  idol  of  a  woi-kl's  renown. 

Great  Orator  !  whose  all  entrancing  words 

Drown  the  cannon's  loud  roar  and  clash  of  swordsii 

Great  western  luminary,  each  satelite 

That  glows  in  Senate,  beams  with  borrowed  light ; 

For  Daniel  Webster, — Statesman, — light  of  centuriea

ON   THE   DEATH   OF 

DANIEL    WEBSTER. 

Written  for  Hon.  George  LunU 

By  THB  HON.   JAMBS  TORRINQTON  SPKNCEB  LID8T0KB. 

*'  Hung  be  the  Heavens  with  black,  &c."  —  Wm.  Shakspeabe. 

Suspended  be  the  music  of  the  spheres, 
Proop  wings  of  time  through  many  mournful  years. 
Art  thou  dead?  Yes!  and  the  shock  has  rent. 
As  with  voltsanic  might,  the  continent. 
"Who  now  within  our  hearts  shall  fill  the  throne. 
Which,  here,  deserted,  desolate  and  lone, 
Lost  to  the  darling — ^brightest  son  of  time. 
Stands  like  a  fobric  in  a  ruined  clime  ? 
We  fain  would  call  thee  back  to  earth  again. 
With  tears  of  agony,  but  that  were  vain. 
The  country  mourns  in  every  distant  part. 
Grief  dries  the  life's  blood  of  a  nation's  heart. 
#  .  *  *  •  *  «» 

And,  is  my  hero  dead  ?  my  darling  gone. 
On  whom  so  many  years  I  dwelt  upon, 
And  fondly  lioped,  that  I  a  sight,  should  gain, 
Of  the  great  man,  but  ah!  I  hoped  in  vain. 
Soraetiraes  in  dreamy  hours  of  youth,  indeed. 


H 


THE  B08T0MIAD. 


Wand'ring  by  stormy  floods,  I'd  think  and  read 

Of  God-like  men  who  dwelt  in  oother  climes, 

Whose  memories  are  the  only  records  to  the^e  times; 

And  I  would  say,  HE  lived  in  those  far  years, 

In  some  fair  isle,  or,  perhaps,  beyond  the  spheres. 

Sudden  the  truth  would  flash  across  my  soul, 

Nor  ages  intervene,  nor  ocean  roll 

Between  me  and  my  idol, — He  lives  now. 

And  rears  'mongst  sons  of  men  his  lofty  brow. 

Then  to  no  warrior  old  I  homage  pay, — 

No  bloody  hero  taints  my  glowing  lay; 

For  men  of  peace  my  anthems  shall  arise, 

I'll  win  the  laurel,  and  I'll  bear  the  prize; 

•'  I  fought  and  conquered"  by  the  magic  of  the  mind, 

And  left  competitors  so  far  behind, 

That  none  was  ever  known  to  dare  again, 

The  Western  Minstrel,  or  his  matchless  strain. 


Is  there  no  poet  in  this  western  clime, 
Whose  spirit  ean  outstrip  the  wings  of  time, 
Call  ages  back,  and  from  their  boundless  flight. 
Rally  the  spheres  to  robe  his  soul  yf'nh.  light  ? 
Then  I,  for  one,  will  sing,  though  every  ear 
Be  shut,  and  nought  but  winds  and  waves  should  hear. 
Mighty  Magician  of  the  wondrous  West, 
Wizard  of  this  New  World— art  thou  at  resii 
/  Are  thy  immortal  powers  and  radiant  brow. 
Now  mouldring  in  the  dreary  mansions  low!   - 
Hark,  I  saw  his  spirit  soar  away. 
With  hosts  of  Heaven,  in  angelic  array. 
Up!  like  the  MORN  of  an  eternal  day, 
I  watched  him  still,  with  dazzled  eyes  afar. 
Rushing  in  brightness  on  from  star  to  star; 
His  winged  form  with  braided  rainbows  hung. 
Back  on  ten  thousand  spheres  fierce  splendors  flung. 
Blinded  by  serial  floods,  I  saw  no  more, 
When  once  he  reached  the  far  Chrystalline  shore. 
Where  all  the  sons  of  glory  went  before. 
He  heeds  you  not,  nor  the  giant  piles  you  rear. 
Though  these  may  well  his  attributes  declare. 


THE  BOSTONIAD. 


li 


His  God-like  deeds  as  mountains  firm  will  stand, 

His  monument  throughout  his  native  land, 

Your  standard's  stars,  as  onward  ages  roll, 

Shall  e*er  beam  forth  the  grandeur  of  his  soul. 

Niagara!  Nature's  Orator!  thy  tongue, 

In  rapid  eloquence  his  praise  prolong; 

Mirror  his  lofty  fame,  ye  inland  seas. 

Ye  forests,  bow  before  the  sighing  breeze, 

'Till  Sol's  chariot  with  Neptune's  coursers  hurled, 

Rush  thro'  electric  tempest  o'er  a  ruined  world. 

*  «  *  *  Hi 

I  thought  that  I  would  tread  that  distant  shore, 

Near  where  the  Pilgrim  Fathers  trod  of  yore. 

To  see  the  wond'rous  man,  whom  I  adore; 

And  here  I  am  at  last —  alas!  I'm  come, 

Yes!  near  four  thousand  miles  away  from  home; 

And  did  you  see  HIM  ?  no,  for  he  was  ill; 

But  you  may  see  him  if  you  wait  on  still — 

Oh!  never,  th'  splendor  of  the  West  is  fled — 

My  hopes  are  crush'd — the  glorious  Daniel's  dead. 

Immortals  never  die!  ♦ 


Reason  did  seem  to  abdicate  her  throne, 

In  the  dark  hour  I  heard  that  you  were  gone, 

I  still  did  hope  new  lively  strains  would  start. 

To  praise  my  idol  in  some  counterpart, 

That  health  and  happiness  and  length  of  days 

Were  yours — ^but  now  those  drear  and  solemn  lays, 

That  once  like  roses  round  my  path  should  Moom, 

Transformed  too,  willows-weep  above  your  tomb, 

Alas  !  my  second  Deity's  laid  low. 

Bleak  countenances  meet  the  Poet  now, — 

I  pine  with  weakness,  and  my  heart  is  sore. 

Tears  flow  fast,  and  I  can  write  no  more.

Tn  orient  climeH,  in  China,  far  away, 
Thro'  the  fair  regions  of  the  rining  ihiy, 
This  valuable,  all-liealing  Root  is  found, 
For  properties  extraordinary — renowned;  * 

In  estimation  high,  tlio  Root  they  hoM, 
And  often  pay  for  it  it|  weight  in  gold, 
This  will  the  leading  Botanists  attest, 
From  the  Ooldon  Orient  to  the  Crimson  West, 
Men  known  through  all  Columbia's  wide  domain. 
Whose  fame  hath  rung  o'er  earth  and  foaming  mlin. 
From  Tartary '8  mountains  back  to  Europe's  Towers  again. 
It  grows,  too.  North  of  this  wide  Continent, 
From  whence  'tis  often  off  to  China  sent ! 
For  Tartary's  hills,  not  easy  of  access, 
With  quite  enough  can  not  the  Natives  bless. 
About  a  Century  smce,  we  know  'twas  made, 
By  France  to  China,  an  article  of  Trade, 
And  by  the  English,  too,  in  later  times; 
But  since  the  Independence  of  these  climes, 
America,  that  should  no  enterprise  neglect 
To  China  carries  on  the  Trade  direct. 
But  why  need  I  tell  you  what  myriads  know. 
Whose  hearts  with  warmest  gratitude  will  glow. 
Long  as  the  breath  of  life  with  them  remains, 
They'll  praise  the  cause  that  banished  all  their  pains; 
Its  own  virtue  to  it  splendour  lends, 
On  actual  merit  it  ijjuch  more  depends, 
Than  any  medicine,  e'er  known  before. 
In  modern  days,  or  all  the  times  of  yore, 
Its  stately  character  will  last  as  long 
As  the  Sun  shines,  or  years  on  Ages  throng, 
Although  'twas  almost  hid  from  mortal  eye,' 
From  periods  of  remote  Antiquity, 
It  pleased  the  blest  Creator  now  to  raise, 
The  Bright  Salvation  of  these  later  days. 
Health,  Beauty,  Genius,  all  shall  tributes  bring. 
To  Nature's  Great  Restorer,  the  Ginseng. 
Heaven,  to  past  and  future  generations. 
Ordained  it  for  the  '•'  Healing  of  the  Na'tions."

For  hoarse  as  Scylla's  '  barking  waves'  was  I, 

Pale  my  rose  cheek,  and  dim^my  radiant  eye, 

Sunk  my  warm  heart,  my  ai'dant  soul  cast  down.

*'  Not  to  know  it,  argues  yourselves  unknoAvn.'*

And  the  site  on  which  all  completely  stand, 

Measures  five  thousand  feet  of  costly  land.      \ 

While  there,  I  cast  my  eyes  around  in  haste — 

Saw  all  arrai^ed  with  elegance  and  taste. 

Modern  improvements  are  all  here  in  gas  ; 

Furnace  of  high  invention  and  plate  glass, 

Cochituate  waters  through  the  building  pass. 

Of  their  large  stock  in  trade,  let  this  be  proof,        •

All  convenience  for  their  customers.

With  harmony  and  eminent  success. 

And  so  it  will  thro'  many  a  coming  year.

or  staining  the  skin  in  the  least,  and  retaining  all  the

Thus  Bogle's  Fluid  forms  the  germ  of  all  that's  grand 

on  earth, 
While  his  electric  hair  dye  gives  to  virgin  beauty  birth. 

Hyperion'^  lovely  daughter  in  purple  chariot  flies — 

And  ope's  with  her  rosey  fingers,  Morns  gates  thro'  orient 

skies  ; 
So  the  offspring  of  Hyperion  Fluid — Fair  Beauty  leads

And  "sheds  its  light  and  loveliness,  o'er  all  the  bounds 

of  day. 
Hyperion's  daughter  sheds  the  dew,  and  all  the  flowerets 

blow; 
So  from  this   Fluid  a  glorious  crop  of  jetty  locks  will 

grow — 
Depth,  height,  and  breadth  of  Bogle's  fame,  swell  an- 
thems loud  and  free. 
And  beauty  rise  to  charm  the  world, like  Venus  from  the

Long  ages  may  thy  light  be  sent— thy  blaze  of  glory 

liurl'd, 
Not  only  thro'  this  Continent  but  o'er  the  ancient  world. 
We  look  thro'  rolls  of  Centuries  and  annals  long  to  tell 
Only  to  see  \^o  stands  alone  without  a  parallel. 

In  every  tongue,  in  every  clime,  all  tribes  will  anthems 

raise. 
And  younger  Bards,  in  happier  time— get  laurels  from 

thy  praise.

(Translated  from  the  Russian.) 

When  God  first  made  the  line  of  being  run 
He  prefaced  Nature's  volumn  with  a  Sun — 
Heaven's  luminaries  lilce  ideas  shot 
Across  the  black  where  chaos  was  the  blot, 
His  sentiment,  in  Oceans  shook  ro»ky  walls, 
Vales  his  stmall  caps — Mountains  his  CAPITALS — 
Men,  Fiends  and  Angels,  where  subjects  to  rehearse, 
And  made  Creation  one  grand  epic  verse.

When  I  trod  on  thro'  your  great  Quincy  Hall. 

1  knew  that  Agriculture  long  ago, 

Caused  various  knowledge  thro'  the  world  to  flow,

Still  round  the  magic  dome  I  fondly  glide 

And  see  new  wonders  rise  on  every  side. 

I  thought  at  first  that  I  might  still  rehearse, 

The  names  of  all  your  Implements  in  verse. 

But  soon  I  knew  'twould  take  an  endless  strain. 

To  name  them  all— to  count  them  all  were  vain; 

For  from  its  grandeur  and  it  large  extent 

It  has  no  rival  on  this  continent, 

And  I  doubt  not  'twould  clip  the  wings  of  pride 

From  all  the  nations  thro'  the  world  beside. 

Let  visitors  to  Boston  give  a  call 

And  view  their  large  Warehouse  in  Quincy  Hall,

Lo!  every  age  and  nation  of  the  world, 

Has  seen  the  arrows  of  the  envious  luirl'd 

In  darkened  clouds  black  as  Egyptian  night, 

lichpsmg  genius  in  its  brilliant  flight. 

Full  many  a  youthful  Bard  in  early  bloom, 

With  broken  heart  has  filled  the  untimely  tomb. 

Chased  by  the  hell-hound  of  a  cruel  host. 

And  left  posterity  to  mourn  their  Poet  lost 

Tliousands  indeed!  let  history's  rolls  attest. 

From  Homer  to  the  Minstrel  of  the  West,  ' 

Have  felt  the  blast  of  persecution,  wild,  '' 

Piercing  the  spirit  of  each  Nature's  Child; 

Not  Bards  alone,  but  other  men  renowned,  ' 

In  Sciences  and  Arts— wliose  names  resound 

With  thrilling  echoes  of  a  thousand  years, 

Tlirough  all  the  regions  of  two  hemispheres; 

Even  they— full  many  too  have  sunk  beneath, 

The  iron  storm,  and  bow'd  their  noble  heads  in  death! 

Tlieir  gentle  spirits  were  not  formed  for  strife. 

To  battle  with  the  darkening  ills  of  life. 

Equal  in  fame,  though  not  in  fate,  with  those 

In  western  skies— another  orb  arose. 

The  most  profound  attention  he  commands 

O'er  all  the  interior  seas  and  forest  lands. 

A  rival  to  the  world's  most  famous  names, 

Our  own  esteem 'd,  belov'd,  illustrious  JAMES; 

His  muse  burst  from  th'  happier  realms  above. 

Like  great  Minerva,  from  the  «•  brain  of  Jove."

Mild  as  a  morn  in  Spring— and  calm 

As  Zephyr  laden  with  the  purest  balm. 

Aroused!  he  emblems  out  the  wild  uproar 

Of  Jove's  own  thunders  and  Numidia's  Lion's  roar. 

Mildness  is  past-and  pity  lives  no  more! 

Let  hostae  cowards,  sunk  in  sin  and  shame, 

Publish  their  slanderous  works  without  a  name; 

Then  fly  to  covert-shivering  with  distress,

In  actions  noble,  and  of  manners  fre«, 
Known  for  unbounded  generosity ; 
None  of  the  human  race  e'er  asked  in  vain

No  country—age — no  color,  and  no  sect, 
Didst  thou  for  thy  benevolence  select. 
Thy  purse  is  ever  open  as  thy  heart. 
Thy  heart  as  open  as  thy  face,  which  smiles  impart.

Equal  on  all,  through  all  the  blessed  day: 
Hundreds,  dear  Bard,  thy  native  worth  attest. 
And  name  thee  weU,  «  Great  Orator  of  the  West." 
If  you  but  once  a  right  acquaintance  own— 
If  once  your  virtues  all  to  us  are  known— 
You  must  be  loved  till  we  can  love  no  more. 
And  with  affection  every  heart  runs  o'er ; 
A  dreadful  foe!  but  friends  you  ne'er  betrayed. 
Each  day  and  night,  through  years,  you  lent  them  aid; 
Wh^t  wonder  then  the  greatest  in  this  land 
Should  ever  stretch  to  you  the  welcome  hand; 
Well  may  they  be  assured— applaud  and  smile. 
You  ne'er  forget  them  in  the  day  of  trial ! 
Blessings  ^o  from  many  a  lowly  bed, 
Form  a  bright  halo  round  thy  darling  head; 
Whenever  want  or  sickness  yet  hath  grieved, 
'Twas  guardian-angel  like  by  thee  relieved: 
Thy  name  on  every  list  we  plainly  see, 
Sure  sign  of  thy  illustrious  pedigree;

F^  IMPORTANT.  .^ 

It  was  my  intention,  at  fivst,  to  publish  a  Poern  on  the 
rise  and  progress  of  Boston,  only;  together  with  a  des- 
cription  of  its  principal  establishments;  but  the  Busmess 
Cards  were  hurried  in  so  fast,  that  I  finally  concluded  to 
publish  a  complete  Business  Poem,  for  the  modem  Athens. 
The  first  ever  published  in  the  world.  It  will  be  seen 
that  it  contains  the  best  names  in  America- that  were 
seldom,  equalled -certainly  never  excelled,  in  any  age 

of  the  world. 

Theseoond  edition  will  be  published  in  an  enUvg^ 
form,  immediately  after  new  year's  day,  1853.  M  the

RE-i'lLECTIOX  OF  MAYOR  SEAVER. 


) 


Written  i/y  the  Hon.  Jus.  Torrington  Spencer  LiUstone. 

Pulilislied  at  tin-  Opoiiiiig  of  the  Tolla. 

"  Til  vain  tho  sttepy  hUl  opposed  my  way, 
Jn  vain  the  war  of  apesu's  sutler 


—riiund  my  Jioiul 
And  planted  all  my  shield — 
I  wcin  th'r  rampart,  and  1  );aint'd  the  trenches, 
While  their  foremost  men  ia^'M  oii  the  plain  below." 

John  Dkyobn. 

lie  is  the  pride  of  public  life — of  private  life  the  charm, 

lli8  liberal  and  his  noble  heart  in  friendship  ever  ■warm — 

The  mij?ht  of  virtuous  eloquence  shall  consecrate  his  name  ^'^ 

Foremost  upon  the  banner  rolls  of  everlasting  fame,         ^^ 

1^1^  He  stood  a  rock  amidst  a  sea  of  fire  in  ages  gone,  .^^ 

I^J^  lie  was  your  Mayor  the  year  before  the  best — the  only  one,  gl^ 

Although  he  reared  no  pondrous  piles  to  give  himself  a  S|bi( 
NAME,-  WT' 

When  granite  towers  fall  down  to  dust  he'll  live  in  death- 
less fame, 

The  Muse  shall  long  his  praise  prolong — 

You  may  well  believe  her — 

No  fanatic  dare  oppose  the  power  of  our  Mjiyor  Seaver, 

*  *  *  *  # 

Not  Homer's  awful  might  nor  Pindar's  burulug  lyre, 
So  much  my  soul  delight  so  much  my  soul  inspire, 
As  your  beloved  form  advancing  on  from  victory 
Where  like  an  angel  in  the  storm  you  made  th'  lightning's  ^^ 

fly,  ^^ 

Transcendant  lionours  w'ait  on  you  full  blown  in  blossom  ^^ 
they  shall  ilower,  j^(i< 

AVhile  we  have  MKX  with  hearts  so  true  to  hold  the  reins  H^ 
ot*  power,  }^S 

As  sunbeams  thro'  the  gates  of  MORN  light  all  the  worlds  % 
on  high. 

So  Boston's  annals  you'll  adorn  to  late  posterity.
